I'm not Irish but

May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.

Re: Happy Saint Patrick's Day

Ate the "Jiggs Dinner" (corned beef & cabbage) when we were kids, but haven't had it in a while. Some will know why its called the Jiggs dinner, and some won't. Its a territorial thing, I think.. Both sides of my family emigrated to NB, Canada, as did alot in 1847, from Counties Antrim and Kerry. I watch everything I can, at this time of the year because its where I came from. Purely self-indulgence.

My wife's family called Kerry home. The McGibboney's came to the US and dropped the Mc ... now they are only Gibboney. She wants to take a trip to Ireland so much to visit her roots. One of these days, after the little one is grown and out of the house, we will do just that.

I'm a Scot and the Mrs. is Irish. In other words, we can't cook or stay in the sun, but we'll meet you in the Public House and carry you home!!!! : )

Aspeck,
My father and brother went to Ireland about 10 yrs ago and had a ball. Absolutley beautiful they said. Did not go to the Northern part though. They did, however, find a Pub that bore our family name, which Dad thought was pretty neat. Sister and BIL went 4 yrs ago, and raved about it. If I can get my woman on a plane, I'll get there too.
